You can find stuff from your head to toe like hats, shirts, sweaters, jackets, jogging pants, pants, boots and shoes, sneakers, some traditional clothing, even underwear and socks; they had it all. Aside from the clothing, I also loved the food section. They were selling fresh produce like vegetables and different kinds of olives. There were also some fruits like berries and bananas. But wait, they didn't stop there. They also had cooked food like rotisserie chicken (they're so yummy and not too expensive), some thai food, chinese food, cooked rice, ribs, oh my gosh I just want to buy all their food. It's definitely a place to check out.

The best potjevleesch in Lille ! This tiny "epicerie fine"…read morecan be quite expensive, but they do have excellent products. And their potjevleesch (beef in jelly) is the best in town : excellent meat, and more meat than jelly (which is not the case elsewhere). They also have delicious "marrons glaces" for Christmas, and very good cheese. The prices are really high, so I can only give a 4/5 for quality/price. This just means that this shop is not for everyone everyday, but the quality is the best you can find.

As a chocolate lover, it would have been difficult to resist the lure. Looking in the store, they had some very nice chocolates, some of which seemed to have extremely high cocoa content - from what I remember, up to 90% or thereabouts (not my type of thing, but some people like it bitter). I would say that if you like chocolate but do not want to end up shelling out and buying loads, avoid this place!
